Smoldering Dreams

by @Pauline_Morris

Standing here with the world upon my shoulders As I watch my dreams ignite and smolder The greenest storm clouds are encroaching The city's on fire, on the horizon I can see it smoking All I can see is flames, around me the fire's rage I'm shackled in chains, locked in a cage By the rancid smell, I'd say my soul has rotten For I'm all alone, I've been forgotten The fire rages on Slowly consuming all my dreams until they're gone With the weight of the world making me sink I'm afraid I'm already over the brink
